Add support for "dependencies" in pg_restore_extended_stats()
This commit adds support for the restore of extended statistics of the
kind "dependencies", for the following input data:
[{"attributes": [2], "dependency": 3, "degree": 1.000000},
{"attributes": [3], "dependency": 2, "degree": 1.000000}]
This relies on the existing routines of "dependencies" to cross-check
the input data with the definition of the extended statistics objects
for the attribute numbers. An input argument of type "pg_dependencies"
is required for this new option.
Thanks to the work done in
0e80f3f88dea for the restore function and
e1405aa5e3ac for the input handling of data type pg_dependencies, this
addition is straight-forward. This will be used so as it is possible to
transfer these statistics across dumps and upgrades, removing the need
for a post-operation ANALYZE for these kinds of statistics.
